Tasting Notes

Aroma

Rich dark fruits of blackcurrant and blackberry with some savoury notes of cedar, warm spices and roasted coffee.

Maturation

Following harvest in mid-April, the fruit was fermented in stainless steel open fermenters for 7 days. Malolactic fermentation was also completed in stainless steel to retain freshness and aromatics. The blend was then barrelled down to 2nd fill and older French oak barriques and hogsheads for 9 months maturation prior to bottling.

Appearance

Ruby red with purple hints.

Palate

A fresh medium bodied Cabernet with flavours of dark chocolate with cassis notes and christmas spices. Balanced by fresh, juicy fruits the wine has fine soft tannins and a smooth finish.

Vintage Notes

The cool climate of the Limestone Coast growing region (located in the South-East corner of South Australia), combined with a diverse array of sub-regions, makes this the perfect fruit source for our Limestone Coast Selections range of wines. Premium vineyards in each sub-region are selected not just for their cool-climate credentials, but also for their suitability to each variety. The wines are then crafted by our winemakers to a consistent style and quality, which is perfect for everyday drinking or more salubrious occasions.

Food Matching

Lamb chops with mint gremolata.

Region Notes

Fruit for our Twist of Fate Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards located in southern Coonawarra. The terra rossa soils and cool climate of these vineyards make them the perfect partners for growing high quality Cabernet.

    A top value Cabernet from the Limestone Coast thanks to fermentation in stainless steel open fermenters for a week, followed by nine months in older French oak barriques and hogsheads. Blood maroon in colour, the nose is redolent of raspberries and redcurrants, mulberries and even a whiff of boysenberries. Medium length on the palate, with plenty of grip, this is attractive drinking now and for the next five to six years. Impressive value. Points: 91/100
